Messages seems confused about its orientation "portrait vs landscape"
Sometimes my Messages display will show the list of messages and message
content in portrait mode but the swipe indicator shows up vertically on the left side of the display like
its in landscape mode. This also scrunches the input text box down so
small its unusable. I have an iPhone 12 pro with IOS 14.3 installed.
This problem is fixed if I reboot my phone but seems to happen daily for no apparent reason. Restarting the app does not help, neither does rotating my phone between portrait and landscape mode. My orientation lock is unlocked and my display zoom is set to zoomed.
I did find out after much trial and error that unsetting my display zoom from zoomed to standard seems to fix the problem. Another obscure bug for Apple to fix sometime.
